For those who have held everything together and are ready to come back to themselves
You might look fine on the outside, but inside feel tired, uncertain, or like something in your life no longer fits.
If you have been carrying a lot through leadership, caregiving, illness, or a big life shift, you are not alone and you do not have to work it out on your own.
I work with thoughtful, capable people to help them reconnect with themselves, clarify what matters now, and move forward in a way that feels calm, aligned and true to them.
Welcome!
I’m Vanessa, and I’m passionate about helping people break free from what’s holding them back.
I know how it feels to question your next steps, to struggle with self-doubt, and to wonder if you’re capable of more. My own journey, through career challenges, personal growth, and life’s unexpected twists taught me that real change is possible at any stage of life. Now, I help others do the same.
What is Transformational Coaching?
Transformational coaching is about deep, lasting change. Unlike traditional coaching, which focuses on setting and achieving specific goals, transformational coaching helps you shift your mindset, beliefs, and habits at a core level.
It’s not just about what you want to do, it’s about who you want to become.
I work with you to:
- Identify and break through limiting beliefs
- Challenge the stories holding you back
- Shift from self-doubt to confidence
- Gain a clear sense of direction and purpose
This isn’t just about quick fixes, it’s about creating lasting personal and professional transformation.
My Approach
I believe everyone deserves to feel confident and in control of their life and career. But too often, we let fear, self-doubt, or past experiences hold us back.
I know this because I’ve been there myself. My journey has taken me through career changes, personal challenges, and moments of deep reflection. Over time, I realised that real transformation happens when we stop waiting for the “perfect moment” and start trusting in ourselves.
That’s why I became a coach to help others uncover their own strength, make empowered decisions, and create a future they truly want.
If something in you knows it’s time for a change, I’d love to talk.
About Me
Hi, I’m Vanessa.
After leading for over 20 years in healthcare, I’ve seen just how much people give to others, often at the expense of themselves. I’ve also lived it. As a cancer survivor, I know first-hand how physically and mentally challenging life can be when everything changes. That experience shaped me in ways I’m still grateful for, it deepened my resilience and reconnected me to what really matters.
Growing up, I was the ‘good girl’…the one who did what was expected, worked hard, and always kept it together. But that pressure to meet expectations, to be everything for everyone, is exhausting. It wasn’t until I stopped, reflected, and really understood who I was beneath the roles and responsibilities, that I began to unleash my full potential.
Now, as an accredited Paseda360 Master Practitioner Coach, I help others do the same. I create a space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself, your values, and your vision for the future. Coaching with me is focused, energising, and tailored to you. My Stop Being Stuck programme is designed to help you shift perspective and move forward with clarity, confidence, and real momentum.

Some feedback from my clients
My experience has been very positive. Although I was initially nervous, Vanessa’s clear and passionate explanation put me at ease. She created a safe, supportive environment, listening intuitively and guiding me with empathy. Afterward, I felt a surge of self-confidence, especially in situations that previously caused stress and anxiety, like at work. Instead of reacting emotionally, I felt calm and more self-aware. This is just the start of my journey, but I’m excited to continue exploring and embracing change.
Vanessa’s approach to coaching was warm and open, making it easy to share my challenges. The exercises she provided were clear, effective, and have led to noticeable improvements. I’m grateful for this experience and will continue using the techniques I’ve learned. Vanessa was brilliant and genuine.
I found Vanessa’s “Stop Being Stuck” sessions very beneficial. In the first session, she explained the programme and techniques like Havening and Limitless Light, and in a follow-up, we discussed my progress. Vanessa was an excellent listener, making me feel safe to share my experiences without judgment. Her guidance on when and how to use the techniques was helpful, and I’ve found them beneficial, especially during stressful moments at work. Vanessa was warm, kind, and supportive throughout.
From the very first session, Vanessa’s kind and reassuring approach put me at ease. She explained simple but powerful techniques like Havening and Limitless Light, guiding me on how to use them effectively. Her intuitive listening and empathy made it easy to share my thoughts without fear of judgment. As a result, I’ve noticed a real boost in my confidence and a calmer approach to challenges, particularly at work. I feel far more in control and better equipped to handle situations that previously caused stress or anxiety.
